Small Business Summit 2026

Small Business Summit 2026

The CCIWA Small Business Summit 2026 will celebrate Small Business Day while providing a high-impact platform to connect Western Australia’s small business community with industry leaders, policymakers, and decision-makers.

Hosting 300–400 attendees at the Pan Pacific Perth, the Summit will convene CCIWA’s network of more than 3,000 small business members, alongside key representatives from government, corporates, and the broader business ecosystem.

Beyond showcasing opportunities, the Summit will play a critical role in gathering real-time insights from small businesses on the barriers they face, ranging from regulatory complexity to workforce constraints and access to capital. These insights will be captured through curated discussions, interactive sessions, and stakeholder engagement, providing valuable intelligence to inform government policy, shape reform priorities, and support more targeted initiatives to help WA small businesses overcome challenges and unlock growth.
